SBS entertainment show ‘Jungle Bob 2 - Peruvian Bob’ (hereafter ‘Peruvian Bob’) will feature the extreme gourmet food of the ‘Wild King’ for full-fledged Amazon survival. The explosive passion and chemistry of the members who will jump into anything for the ingredients will capture the attention of viewers.

First, the Bob friends enter the ‘Amazon Village’, the wild king of Peru, and go on a life-threatening hunt to catch the ‘man-eating fish’, the piranha. Chef Choi Hyun-seok, who previously challenged catching ‘Giant Squid’ in the vast Pacific Ocean, and actress Kim Ok-bin, who has been reborn as an ‘Amazon Warrior’, jump into the middle of the Amazon River to hunt piranhas. The studio MCs who saw this reportedly reacted strongly, saying things like, “If you do that wrong, you‘ll lose your fingers”, and “Aren’t you two going to become piranha food?” In fact, when a situation arises where the piranhas are fighting with strong bites, the boat quickly turns into a “battlefield”. Will the fishing friends be able to succeed in risking their lives piranha fishing? The results can be seen on the broadcast.

Meanwhile, ‘veteran chef’ Choi Hyun-seok will present ‘luxury fine dining’ in the harsh ‘Amazon outdoor kitchen’, where mosquitoes constantly attack. He will present a special ‘Amazon limited’ menu using ‘piralucu’, an ancient fish that only lives in the Amazon basin, reaching up to 5m in length and 200kg in weight. Here, a glimpse of the experience of a top chef will be shown in the ‘Chicken Feet Juice’ and ‘Celery Fried Rice’, completing the perfect fine dining dish. MC DinDin, who watched this, is said to have declared himself a huge fan of Chef Choi Hyun-seok, saying, “He‘s the coolest when he’s cooking!”. Indeed, curiosity is rising as to what kind of new culinary world ‘Chef Choi’ will present, transforming the Amazon jungle floor into a ‘Hangang View Restaurant’.



Also, ‘Jungle Man’ Ryu Soo-young is said to show ‘madness’ by subduing a live crocodile with his bare hands, raising expectations. While his friends stand far away in fear after encountering the new ingredient, the ‘Amazon top predator’ crocodile,’ Ryu Soo-young, the ‘owner of Jungle Bob’, confidently steps forward and lifts the crocodile with one hand. MC Jeon Hyun-moo, who saw this, could not hide his astonishment and said, “Are Ryu Soo-young crazy?!”. Furthermore, he is set to show the true value of a ‘pretty boy’ by challenging himself to make tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork) with crocodile, an ingredient he has ‘never seen in his life’. So what will be Ryu Soo-young‘s recipe for the ‘crispy on the outside, soft on the inside’ crocodile tangsuyuk that has captured the tastes of even the locals? Attention is also focused on the taste and texture of the crocodile.

It’s beyond what you imagine. A new culinary world unfolding with wild jungle ingredients, SBS‘s ‘Peruvian Rice’ will air at 9 p.m. on Thursday the 13th.
